in order to evaluate the effects of different planting dates and biological fertilizers on yield, yield components and essential oil content in cumin (cuminum cyminum) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) intercropping, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of ferdowsi university of m...

water deficit stress is the most important environmental constraint for growth, yield and productivity of crops, including the oil seed crops. this study was aimed at studying the influence of differing irrigation régimes on growth, chlorophyll , proline and some antioxidants content along with grain yield, yield components and oil content of sesame genotypes using a 4-replicate split plot rand...

in order to evaluate the physiological indices in relation to the screening of spring safflower genotypes for drought tolerance and productivity, seed and oil yields and yield components were measured for five genotypes including local arak, local esfahan, sina, kh23 – 57 and goldasht. the study was conducted in a loam soil in east azarbaijan, iran, during three successive years (2005-2007)...

The seed and seed oil from sandbox, Hura crepitans were investigated to establish their composition and utility as a base material. Powdered seeds from H. crepitans were soxhlet-extracted with petroleum ether between 40-60°C to yield a golden-yellow oil. Proximate analyses and chemical characterization of the seed oil were carried out using the standard procedures of American Oil Chemist Societ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with raw or heat-treated sunflower oil seed with two levels of 7.5% or 15% on unsaturated fatty acids in milk fat and performances of high-yielding lactating cows. Twenty early lactating Holstein cows were used in a complete randomized design. Treatments included: 1) CON, control (without sunflower oil seed). ...

in order to study the effect of water deficit stress at different growth stages on yield and seed oil quality of rapeseed cultivars, a field experiment was conducted as split-plot in a randomized complete block design arrangement with three replications in 2009-2010 growing seasons in abarkouh in iran. four levels of irrigation were located in the main plot including, (i1) normal irrigation bas...
